Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris believes that his team-mates are refreshed following their mid-season break in Barcelona.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino took the team to Barcelona during the weekend for a warm weather winter training camp, marking the third year in a row that the club travelled to the Spanish city.

"Like the last few years, it was a good experience for the togetherness in the group," said Lloris.

"To see different things, to do different things together is so important. At the same time you stay together and that's good too.

"It's an opportunity to know the new players better who arrived last summer because you share 24 hours with them. Like the last few seasons it's a very good experience and now we start again to work.

"I think it was a good time to switch off because we are lucky that the next game is on Sunday," added the goalkeeper. At the same time we did some good work and that's important.

"Now we will be back to our routine and we will prepare for the next game as well as possible like we normally do."
